Journalism’s PC Practitioners

I just did an interesting interview with a journalist from The Daily Beast on Men on Strike that left me kind of concerned with where journalism is going. The reporter seemed to think it was entirely fair to “profile” men for sexual assault because, as she put it, “one in four women are raped.” Leaving aside the validity of this dubious statistic, that seems like a kind of profiling, doesn’t it? I asked her if she would favor profiling black men because they commit crimes at a disproportionate rate and she reacted with disdain — “of course not!” But other than political correctness, what’s the difference? But one can be maintained in polite society, and the other cannot.

Dr Helen it is an effective tactic to "deploy" on men. Your book (which has recently arrived in my house) is about men and not about the false rape culture! Why would a journalist even go there in the interview? Perhaps a sub text of her conversation is why would you bother defending men when 1 in 3 are rapists? See when you peddle victimhood you difuse logical debate, and you escape the responsibility for what you say and your actions and your intent!

I was married for 17 years, have four children, when I was seperated my children did not want much to do with their mother, for three years I received letters from her solicitor until I received one accusing me of molesting my daughters! I took all my children to a government agency to be assessed by a psychiatrist (on my own volition) with the letter, for two hours they played with dolls ...

I still have my daughters but now if I hug them I turn side on, it has changed our relationship ... My point here is with the false rape stats and false allegations these are made to empower one side and disempower the other! The upshot of these allegations for me was I settled the marriage for much less than 50/50, after getting advice from a Barrister I was told this was in effect a warning for more to come ...

About a year after the divorce and settlement my eldest son was admitted to hospital I saw my ex for the first time and after a brief conversation I asked her why she made those allegations? Her response was to deny all knowledge of the letter from her solicitor ... (denial of responsibility for her actions).

Guys don't marry, you will have a greater likelihood of tremendous regret than great joy, statistically speaking :)

your interviewer demonstrates one of the reasons why marriage is less frequent. you have feminazis who harp on questionable stats and want to paint all men as awful and terrible. so men will think it's better to stay single. I certainly do.

The chief problem is men have got to stop being "nice" to American women. American women are able to say and do the most hateful things with a smile on there face. The problem is American men put up with it. It's true! Most guys are such doormats.

*If a woman disrespects you just ignore her.*Don't help women in need. Ever.*Don't buy them things.*If you're on a date and the woman disrespects you, then leave her promptly.*Don't shake hands with female professionals. They are your inferiors.

Remember what Camille Paglia said about her own kind:"If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts."

During the short period of time when I was foolish enough to manage people, I had a problem with an employee. I talked to my human resources representative about it, who said, "He's a white gentile male. He has no rights." I think that "non-hispanic white heterosexual male" might be more accurate, but that's really how it was in 1982, and it's gotten even more that way over the years since.

Well, Dr. Smith, you're making a mistake in assuming intellectual good will, the assumption that the person you're discussing is genuinely interested in truth, reason or having an intellectually coherent set of positions. But, for ideologues intellectual consistency is rather beside the point, isn't it? And the folks at the Daily Beast are, with a few exceptions, ideologues of the worst sort, cosmopolitan progressive poseurs.

This lie goes with so many other feminists' debunked lies: (1) only 2% of rape claims are false; (2) domestic violence spikes on Super Bowl Sunday; (3) Lenore Weitzman's still-quoted "statistics" that men get more well off after divorce while women get worse off; (4) "rule of thumb" coming from some old law (that no one has found) about the size of stick with which one can beat one's wife; (5) wives were their husbands' property in the past; (6) Western women, especially in the US, are all still victims of oppression; (7) women get only about 3/4 the pay of men solely because of discrimination (without accounting for a ton of factors such as job, work hours, and time off for having children); (8) boys have big advantages and get better treatment in school, while girls are heavily disadvanted and squelched; and probably others I can't think of at present. All notions debunked, I must repeat.

Well, that feminist is, for all intents and purposes, essentially the intellectual stepchild of Sandra Harding, who referred to Newton's Principia Mathematica as a rape manual. She pushed that idea in the mid-80s. And in a certain sense, Harding and the feminist you cite understand something most of the rest of us don't. They understand what all collectivist ideologues do, that science, reason, logic and fact are the enemies of their entire enterprise. We assume that they're just other intellectuals with bad ideas who simply intellectualized wrongly. They're not. The destruction of the intellect is essential to their agenda.
